A big regular at these events, Catherine Deneuve continued this March 1, 2024 with the Loewe fashion show. , which took place at the Château de Vincennes. Arriving on site with a Ukrainian flag pinned to her tweed jacket, the film star was noticed by an AFP camera, which questioned her about this position.
Why this pin at Fashion Week?
While Vladimir Putin is about to be re-elected in Russia, and he warned Emmanuel Macron about sending troops to Ukraine that “The consequences of these interventions would really be more tragic”of the nuclear order, Catherine Deneuve wanted to have a thought for the country allied to France.
She told a reporter about her pins: “I find that when we have this little flag, it’s something that we don’t need to add, so unfortunately every day, we are warned about Ukraine, so there you go, it’s really important and It’s important to me, you see.”.
When his interlocutor asked him if it was a “reminder to reality in this sometimes very carefree world of fashion?“, Catherine Deneuve humbly admitted: “Well it’s a few seconds compared to a day”.
“Come back one day to my beautiful Ukraine”
On May 16, 2023, the actress of “Beautiful day” had spoken at the opening ceremony of the 76th Cannes Film Festival. Before declaring it open, she had read “L’Espérance”, by the Ukrainian poet Lessia Oukraïnka. A little more than a year later invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Catherine Deneuve then declaimed: “I no longer have any happiness or freedom. Only one hope remained for me: To return one day to my beautiful Ukraine.” She then admitted that she thought “a lot to Ukraine“. A year later, as the conflict bogs down, this thought never leaves her.
